Thanks Alto. Really great tips. Thank you very much!

Thanks Tim!! Top tip for topping up sand or substrate. Thanks for the video :)

Thanks! Some great tips! I've decided to leave the tank alone. I'm just going to get a few more narrow leaf Java ferns and a bit more Anubias. These are growing so well already. The tank is really established and I don't want to mess with it. The rummy nose and Cardinal Tetra are a few years...

Cheers!! You're right. It will end up a mess. I'll get my old 70l out of the loft and put everyone in that. Drain the 240 and then do a change of soil. Thanks!

Hi All, Hope everyone is well. Just a quick question. I have an establish tank. Low tech and going for a few years. Fish super healthy (mixture of tetra and some amano shrimp). I've had rubbish growth with some crypts and stems but good on Java Fern and Anubias. I want to swap some of the plain...

Looks amazing!!!!! Fantastic job!!!!

Window looks great Fred! This is going to be an amazing pond!

Looking great Fred!

Pond is looking huge!! The window will be amazing!! Can't wait to see this full of water and fish!! :)

Yeah I'm really lucky as its concrete floors and I have a nice 240L planted tank. Really looking forward to seeing your kind progress!!! :)

I'm really enjoying this. I live in a flat so don't have a garden. I'm really jealous as I would love a pond. I can't wait to see what it's going to look like finished and with fish!! :)

Great start!!! This is going to look amazing when grown in!!! :)

I always wanted the wind up Kenevil too!! :) Scape looks brilliant!!!

Looks great!!! Really good job!! I love the Vallis at the sides!

Looks great!! The plants have really got denser. I think it looks fantastic!! :)

Amazing!! Really beautiful! Love the red platies against the green of the plants!!

Could you somehow use a couple of desk lamps?? Though its a deep tank at 24" so might be difficult on the cuba. Does the tank get any natural sunlight at all?

Thanks for the tip Andy!! Yes the twin T5s are a bit too much. I wish Juwel would offer LEDs or the old T8s. They have a deal this month with a free cabinet and my LFS is selling for £289.99.

Very good & useful article!! Thanks Troi!!

No not at all - I agree! For this tank I don't want to use Easycarbo because of the hassle of daily dosing and the cost of it. It's more difficult to find T8s these days. Its all T5s or high out put LED. I like the idead of dimmable LEDs becuase they are much cheaper to run. Thanks for the...

Hi, I want to set up a low-tech aquarium that requires minimal work. Ideally a 20% fortnightly water-change and a monthly trim of the plants. This is my current tank. Juwel Rio 240L. I dose 15ML of Easycarbo & 15ml of ProFito every day. Weekly 50% water change. I'm still keeping my 240L but...

Amazing!! Looks really good!

Thanks for the reply!!! Very helpful! I'll do some research into the JBLs. Thanks so much for your help!

Hi Guys, I have a Juwel Rio 240 litre aquarium. Its heavily planted. I'm using the internal filter and an Eheim Ecco 300. The Eheim Ecco is not doing a very good job. The flow is poor and the water isn't polished enough for me. I've tried filter floss but the flow is even worst then. I'm...

Thanks guys :)

Cheers! :D

Some updated photos. Not the best quality as taken on my mobile phone. I've basically let them go grow completely wide. My 180L with my 44L cube. Side view of cube.

Very Interesting ceg4048 - thanks!! Thanks everyone for the replies. On the whole my Java Ferns are pretty healthy so it looks like I will just have to put up with a few translucent tips.

Hi, My Java Fern is doing well but a few of leaves have translucent tips. Whats the cause of this? Tank is a Juwel 180L and using the Juwel T5 lights. I have C02 and also use liquid c02. I use TNP+ for plant fertiliser. Lights are on for 8 hours a day and I have an external filter as well as the...

Brilliant :)

Great video! It's looking really good. Love the full tank shot. Looks fantastic in the corner by the sofa :)

Thanks George! :)

Looks really good! It's going to look brilliant once the plants fill in. Love the wood and moss :)

Hi All, Quick update! I had a big change around in March and here are the results. I've grown tenellus at the front left corner and its spreading nicley now. On the right side I've grown a mixture of flame, Christmas & Java Moss to create a carpet - the shrimp love this!! There's still alot of...

Re: Tonys 'Triassic Hollow' 420L - Zebra otos Looks fantastic! :)

I've got a 180L on a second floor flat. It’s against an outside supporting wall and has 3 joists running under it. Also it’s on a wooden board to help distribute the weight evenly.

CHeers!! I'll try that tonight :)

Hi, My glass C02 diffuser is looking a bit dirty. The ceramic plate has gone a brownish colour. I've tried to clean it but the ceramic plate won't clean up. Whats the best way to clean it? Thanks, :D Russ

Re: Untitled Yet 300L optiwhite (Cherry and Full Video 18.03 Amazing videos - tank looks brilliant! :) I'm looking for a new camera which one do you use?

Thanks guys - very helpful :) The tank is empty which should make this easier - cheers!!!

Re: Krish's 60cm Rescape - 10 Week Old. Looks really nice :) I love the wood with the moss on! FIsh & shrimp look very healthy.

Hi, Has anyone taken off the Juwel Internal filter? I want to remove my Juwel internal filter but it's really well siliconed in place. I can't get a knife down to loosen the silicon. What’s the best way to remove it? I was getting angry with it last night and the caveman method might break the...

Looks great :) All the tank equipment is very subtle. Once the plants grow you won't notice at all. The only thing I would do is split the HC up into smaller portions.

Re: GA in-store display 120P Iwagumi Amazing :) I love the 3 30L tanks!

Thanks!!! I might pinch a few ideas from your tank. It looks great :D

Looks great :) What plants have you got in there as I'm setting up a lowtech. I love the cryps on the right hand side at the front. Whats your lights and what ferts? I've got a single 15W and planning on using TPN+ once a week.

I love that tank and does have the same sort of feel even though there's only plants above it. I think it looks amazing George. I love Jungle tanks and this is a beauty :)

Looks brilliant :)

Re: Andyh's 190l Lounge tank (update with video) Looks great! The plants look really healthy and you have some lovely fish in there! :)

CHeers! I'll just switch the 2x11w off but won't take them out of the hood. If they start to suffer I'll just turn the 11ws back on. :) I'll take some pics of before and after :)

Some great scapes - brillant job :)

Hi, I have Echinodorus tenellus growing really very well with c02 and 37W of lights (2x 11W T% and 1 x 15W T8). I also use TPN+. If I stopped using the the 2x 11w and just kept the 15W would the tenellus suffer badly? I will keep the flow, c02 & TPN+. Its a Juwel Rekord 60L. What are your...

Thanks!! I've got 10X flow, plenty of c02 and will be using TPN+. I'll set it up this weekend. Cheers

Hi, I have a 60cm x 21cm x 21cm aquarium currently stored in the loft. I think its about 26litres (probably about 20L with substrate & decor). Would a 2 x 15W T8's be too muich light? I'm going to run a eheilm ecco external and pressuirsed c02. I want a HC carpet with shrimp & maybe 2 ottos...

Thanks for the link. Yep will not do this. I'll keep the bottle upright :)

Hi, Setting up a 60L tank on the weekend. I've got a D&D C02 set. Is it safe to put the c02 bottle on its side. This way it will be hidden. Or is it best to always keep it upright? Many thanks! :D Russ

Many thanks!! :D Thats such a good price!!!

Yeah I think I have the pinkish bulbs.

Thanks guys - will give it a go :)

Hi, I have 2x 11w Arc Pods. The bulbs are a strange colour and not a lovley clean white. Does anyone know which bulbs I can switch them too and the best price? Cheers! :D

Hi, I have a D&D co2 set on my 30L nano cube. I also run an Eheim ecco 130 which has the 12mm pipework. I want to add an inline diffuser. Whats a good one and whats your views? Many thanks, Russ :)

Amazing collection of photos :)

Looks fantastic :) Whats the name of the plant at the front that has long storks?

Look forward to the pics. I really the corner tanks!

Re: juwel rio 400l (video 10122010) Love it - looks great :) I could watch that for hours!

Love the wood, its looks great! Looking forward to seeing pics once the plants have grown on.

Good idea! I'll give that a try - thanks! :)

Hi, Set this up yesterday. Photos taken 1 hour after setting up. THe plants are: Java Moss tied to wood. HC at the front/middle. Dwarf Hairgrass at the back/middle. Anuabis nana at bottom of the wood. Substrate is taken from an old tank and is ADA aquasoil (some gravel mixed from old tank...

Re: Andyh's 190l Lounge tank (update 7/11/10) Looks great - so lush and green!! The Cardinals look great and the Fire Red :)

:) :)

Re: 90x45x45cm - The Unknown Looks great!!! Can't wait to see some photos when its filled! :)

Great video - really gutted I missed this. The tanks all looked amazing!! :)

Looks great!!!

Living Waters is great!! Big, big plant choice and good quality fish.

Cheers!

Hi, I have a little 26L desk aqaurium. Its got a 11w light with reflector. I'm using injected c02 and tropica plant nutr+. The substate is ADA aquasoil. The light would only be about 25 cm from the plant but would Staurogyne sp. grow with only a 11w light? Many thanks! Russ :D :D

Re: Krish's 60cm Rescape - Wood Comming Soon Love the wood!! Looking forward to seeing it all set up and planted! :)

Looks really good!!! :) I would love a tank that long!

Looks great!!! :)

I like the idea of wood and moss!! Will look into that :)

Cheers!!! Here's a video of of 1 month (Nearly 5 months now). I'll take a new video this week.

Hi, Here's my jungle stlye Juwel Vision 180L. I keep it fairly basic with just a 10% water change a week. Then once a month I clean the glass, filter, etc.. I'm running a Fluval 305 (with spray bar) as well as the Juwel Internal Filter. Co2 is set up for 1 bubble a second and the glass diffuser...

THanks sanj! I thought they might get too big for my tank. I'm going for either a shoal of 12 Cardinals or 12 rummy nose now .

Thanks for the reply! No i have not got them yet so I won't get them. Maybe some nice Cardinal Tetras instead!

Hi, I've just got a Juwel Vision 180L. I'm setting it up this week and taking everything from my 155L Osaka. I'm going to run both the the Juwel internal plus a fluval 305 external. Would redline torpedo barbs be ok to keep in 180L? I'm just worried they may be a bit too big. I've also got 2...

Hi, thanks for the reply! :D Tank is running at 24.3 according to the thermometer at the moment. I didn't do any filter maintenance (external eheim ecco) just pulled a couple of plants up and replanted some stems. Very interesting info on what the water companies do. I'll keep checking the...

Hi, In my 80L optiwhite 11 Amano shrimp died over night. The water stats were spot on, c02 levels fine (goes off with lights anyway) & cherry shrimp, Corys, ottos & 4 remaining amano shrimp absouletly fine. Also Corys laid eggs that night on the glass and plants. 3 Amano shrimp physically got...

Cheers guys!! I'm going for the 180L and will pick up this weekend :)

No sadly wooden floor boards (otherwise my dream 300L)!! :D :D

Thanks guys!! Very helpful!! Good tip on the board on the floor! :)

Looks great!! A brilliant scape!!!

Hi, :D I live in a flat and currently have a 155L. Would increasing to a 180L be too much weight for the floor boards? I've been offered a Juwel Rio 180 which is 101cm long from a friend who doesn't want it anymore. Many thanks, Russ

Re: Saintly's 120cm' Fraggle rock' Great video! It looks really good!! :D

THanks for the tips guys!! I have an old ehiem aquaball. I'll this a go :)

Hi, Can anyone recommend a cheap pump for water changes? Its for a 80L aquarium. I want to return the water slowly so as not to ruin my carpet plants. Many thanks!! Russ :D

I love the Sky TV video - brilliant!! :D

THanks!!! Very helpful - I'll try and get some cyanoacrylate gel this weekend :D

Hi, I have a Juwel Stone backround. I want to have Moss growing out of some of the rockwork. Can I just superglue moss? If so whats the best way? Also what Moss would be best? Many thanks!! Russ :D

Looks great - love it! :)

Re: Andyh's New 190l Lounge tank. Day One! Looks great! Really looking forward to watching this all grow in! I love all the kit like the ADA Thermometer & tank is brilliant!
